I think most couples get a divorce because they really don't like each other anymore, like when they met they liked each other a whole lot more.

I think that, now, women are more independent, so, they don't need to stay with the men because they can sustain by themselves. I guess that this is one of the reasons, because decades ago, a lot of women were repressed by their husbands.

I don't think that anyone should stay with someone out of dependence. I think that we should all be able to provide for ourselves and support ourselves and children.

The last ten years of my marriage has been more like just room mates and thats why we decided to get a divorce. It is not a bad divorce we both are agreeable on most everything. And will remain friends.

there are of course many reasons why couples break up or divorce. although it is one of the hardest things to do because of the shared history and common friends built and met through the years, the two decided to split because of irreconcilable differences and uncommon sights for the future. they say that it is good for both of them. the maturity has sunk in and now they are ready to make matured decisions, not out of emotional urge.

Well to me I think they should have been mature when they decided to marry each other.

I just think that love is a very strong feeling and is mistaken with lust all to often. I think that we want to believe in our dreams so much, we tend to let them fog up our reality of a situation. I think people race into relationships they believe will last forever without considering the long term only the feelings in their heart. I still think living with passion is the only way to live.

There are many different reasons why couples divorced or separated. Whatever the cause is...one thing for sure love fades. Few couples prefer to divorced before they lost respect to each other. Sometimes being friends after divorced made them more closer and much civil with each other...and best for the kids too (if ever they have kids already) have a good day jaiho®

Yes,they are.And in my view,i think the essential factor make them break up or divorce is with the time flies,the passion which coming up during their first met,or wanna to get married have disappeared.

I know I totally agree, and most couples who think they're in love get married at like 18 or 19, like really young ages, so they end up backing out of the marriage.

There are several reasons why a couple would file for divorce. There are some who just woke up and find out that their spouse has become a stranger to them because they were living separate worlds, do separate activities which they are not aware of at first that leads them further apart. Some have lost the spark and lost the respect as well as love. There are couples who have conflicts that were left unresolved thus it piles up until it overwhelms both of them and the only solution they can think of is to file a divorce. There are also some who experience physical or verbal abuse and so they file for divorce to end this. I believe that it takes two to tango so a couple should try hard to make their relationship work, that is if there is still respect and love left, otherwise they should separate if they find it hard to live with each other.
